Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest. “The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark.” By the 1950s and 1960s, that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and eight hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. “Nowadays people cheat on their sleep, and they don’t even realize they’re doing it,” says Dr. David. “They think they’re okay because they can get on by 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5, eight or even more to feel ideally vigorous (充滿活力的).”
